If the Lakers don't deal Kuzma and Rondo, they're going to regret it

[Shogon]

These guys do not fit with this team and the Lakers desperately need shooting.

Pelinka needs to pull a rabbit out of his ass considering they've dealt most of their assets.

This team just isn't getting it done with the shooting and they have to make a move despite their amazing record if they want to win the title.

[talkingconch]

relax, its there 3rd loss of the season

[Proctor]

They aren't beating a healthy Clippers either way. They're fighting for 2nd place.

You're right, but Kawhi is never going to be healthy literally ever again, so who knows.

The best the Clippers can hope for is they rest him like 2 weeks straight before the season ends and then play him extremely sparingly in the playoffs until they need him.

Yeah, I just mean Kawhi even at the level he was at last year.

[ImKobe]

What's wrong with Kuzma? He's worked his way back slowly, shooters will have off nights. Rondo is a good locker room guy but no one's trading for him lmao.

i dont think they can. Homecourt really doesnt matter vs the lakers but I think you would want it against hou and especially den and utah. delaying the lakers til the conference finals potentially isnt that bad either.

What's wrong with Kuzma is he's their primary scorer off the bench and he has nights where he looks like an All-Star and then he has nights where he looks like he doesn't belong in the league.

His defense is bad and he gets lost a lot.

Yeah they probably can't afford to sit him, I agree. But they're going to have to. Can't have him gimping going into the first or second round.

[RoseCity07]

Kuzma is fine. It's Rondo that cant' shoot. Need to ship his as out for some d league bum that is hungry. Anyone is better than Rondo.

LMAO I've been saying that Rondo is garbage since the moment he came back healthy... same thing with Kuzma. Literally just sitting Rondo would make the betters a better team than playing him with LeBron.

LeBron and Rondo on the floor at the same time is literal oil and water.

[imdaman99]

Kuzma is a terrible defender. His inconsistent offense does not make up for his defending. I'm not sure how much value he has, teams should not be fiending for him. I always thought he was overrated even though he stole the show from Lonzo when they were bad. And last year because Lebron did not have too many consistent options that were willing to catch and shoot, Kuz was kind of forced to score.

I would not give up much for him on the Knicks and the Knicks suck. Not for Marcus Morris at least.

Well maybe your daddy should learn to be effective off ball.

Oh wait, he's too lazy, simple, and it will hurt his stats.

LMAO @ you being so LeBlind.

When Delon comes in, Luka allows him to make plays.

It's a TEAM game.

Yeah, LeBron's off ball game isn't great most of the time. But they're not going to deal him, and even if they wanted to, what are they getting back? Rondo's gotta go, or at least, not be on the floor at the same time.

Rondo and LeBron are both old and they are who they are. Do you deal LeBron or do you deal Rondo if you're Pelinka? Next, dumbass.

That's how the game works, Kuzma is not a starter for a reason.

I just hate the menality of calling a player trash while also saying we should trade them, why would anyone else give up anything of value for our trash?

Kuz just saved us @NO so he'll give and take all season, that's just who he is. We're not getting a better shooter in return. He was shooting better than last season coming into this game so I wouldn't panic, this was like his 4th game in 16 that he failed to hit a 3, it happens.

17 - 3 start and people are demanding trades on here..

[RealSkipBayless]

Lakers are 17-3.

Lakers have like 5-6 roster spots dedicated to 3 point shooters. They aren't performing up to par. Not sure if trading Kuzma for more of them will do anything.

Rondo has never shown great results in a lineup with Lebron. Vogel needs to fix that.

LeTards live vicariously through him. Every Final loss makes them yearn harder for a Finals win. They find joy in life in Lebron winning - a good story to forget their own life story. Also to "prove the haters wrong". Even though the "haters" argument is not the winning, but the context of winning and losing. Lost sheep.

That's why you see this behavior time and again about Lebron needing "more help - x teammate trash". They want him to succeed extremely bad, no matter how. They've accepted the man to be a short cutter, colluder and fraud BUT WINNING, to them, is the equalizer for their shameful stupidity and their dedication to stanning an overrated loser. They know this deep inside with a bit of introspection but like someone hooked to meth, they just can't let go.

It's a real mindjob that can only happen inside a person with mental health issues.... usually depression..... not necessarily a retard but you know how we exaggerate.

Beautifully said.

[NBASTATMAN]

They better not get rid of RONDO. Besides Bron who will break down a defense and get shots for other guys.. Rondo just needs to be off the floor when Lebron is on the floor..

THE LAKERS got beat on the boards tonight as well.. THE MAVS had like 10 more possessions than the LAKERS TONIGHT .. That is where they lost the game.. Obviously shooting better would have helped .. But the Lakers have struggled with shooting the ball in plenty of games.. Lakers need another guy to break down a defense and they should be fine. IGGY would help some but im not sure how good he is at this point. He would help though..

Lakers are 17 and 3 and people are panicking when the Clippers just also had a terrible game ?

These things happen and the offensive system needs to adjust because their starting to stand around and ball watch because they thought James and Davis are basically unarguable and Dallas adjusted from the last game on their floor and the Lakers will work on the defense and offense to handle Dallas and everyone knew a loss was coming and maybe even in Denver because of the altitude or Utah hopefully just the Dallas loss only and the Lakers go on another 10 game run.


This team is perfectly fine and better then expected.

I don't think anyone is panicking...and clearly this team is about as good as anyone.

However, going solely off of early season results with a cupcake schedule is probably not forward-thinking enough.

Do they absolutely have to make roster changes? Nope, they could do nothing and still win.

However, adding another shooter and or wing defender is definitely something this team should look into.

Should the bail on Kuzma? No, I don't think so, but if they could turn him and salary into a guy like Covington...it is something the team really needs to think about.

It doesn't even have to be that drastic, but a championship or bust team should always be looking to improve around the fringes.

Kuzma played ok by the stats tonight. Rondo was his washed self. They need to move these guys. Get someone like Covington if that's even remotely possible, but I doubt it, and try to find a better playmaker than Rondo.

Rondo has moments where he fades in and he looks like a borderline All-Star but for the most part he's just eh... he doesn't fit on LeBron teams. These guys should almost never play together.
